Market competitions force the engineers to design electronic devices more powerful but importantly smaller in size. Such smaller size electronic devices face the problem of heat generated from the process cycle, thus experience poor reliability. Efficient thermal interface materials that are able to remove heat from electronic devices have been in great demand.

Applications are invited from highly qualified candidates for a fully financed 3 year PhD scholarship at DTU Nanotech, Dept. of Micro- and Nanotechnology, on light-based 3D printing of soft hydrogel materials for advanced cell culture. DTU Nanotech performs internationally leading research on micro- and nanofabrication in…

Raw SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) images induced by electrons are in gray scale because only light carries color information. However, the false monochrome color (containing tones of a single color) can be simply added to micrographs at any time using digital image processing. The way of adding monochrome color to the SEM image using Adobe…

Drosophila was the most important model organism used in the fields of medicine and biology over the last century. Recently, Drosophila was successfully used in several studies in the field of nanotoxicology. However, only a part of its potential has been exploited in this field until now. In fact, apart from macroscopic observations of the effect due to the interaction between nanomaterials and living organism (i.e. lifespan, fertility, phenotypic aberrations, etc.),…

In line with the overall mission of the Directorate-General Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission (EC), the Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) provides scientific and technological contributions to different stages of European energy and transport policy-making on issues related to technology innovation, environmental protection, energy security, and sustainable development where a European perspective and independence of commercial and national interests are…

The research is focused on the understanding of the basic processes involved in the heterogeneous nucleation of bubbles. During the three years, the project is aimed at modeling the nucleation process on both kind of natural and synthetic surfaces at different scales, ranging from the nano/microscopic to the macroscopic one. Technically, Molecular Dynamics simulations combined with rare events techniques and free-energy methods are envisaged as the main investigation tools at the nano scale,…

DTU Nanotech, Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology, invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position in New Nano-Based Sensors for Water Quality Monitoring. The position is available from June 1st 2014.

The department of Micro- and Nanotechnology is dedicated to research, education and innovation at the highest international level within micro- and nanotechnology. We have around 200 employees of which 30 are Faculty members, 90 are PhD students, 60 are other kinds of…

A PhD position funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation is available at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland.

The research focus of the project is on the chemical bonding of small heteronuclear molecules and clusters containing transition metal atoms. The predominantly experimental research is based on laser spectroscopy (mainly non-linear four-wave mixing and to a lesser extend laser-induced fluorescence, cavity ring-down absorption, resonant…

Soleil is a particle accelerator that produces synchrotron radiation, extremely powerful light source for exploring inert or living matter. This multidisciplinary tool, indispensable in the fields of research and industrial applications, welcomes more than 3,000 users per year. Financed by two principal shareholders- the CNRS and the CEA- SOLEIL holds a status of "”Public company". SOLEIL runs continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days…

The aim of the project is to use optogenetic techniques to treat epilepsy; a device permanently implanted in the brain will detect the onset of seizures and illuminate inhibitory cells that have been made light-sensitive by transfection.

Our task at UCL is to develop and test the packaging and encapsulation of the device and we will make use of the nearby London Centre for Nanotechnology and the Clean Room and Electronics Lab of the Implanted Devices Group,…

The nanoparticle size distribution can be determined using numerous commercially available instruments. However, such techniques make very convenient but too simplistic assumption that every particle is a sphere. The following tutorial shows how to describe particles size using multiple length and width measures based on SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image. …

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join Professor Kim’s research group at the Department of Engineering Science in central Oxford. The post is funded by the ERC Advanced Grant funded project “Universal Framework for Charge Transport in Quantum Dot Systems (UniQDS)” and is available for 2 years.

The post aims to develop a technology and manufacturing platform for the 3D-integration of sophisticated components and sensors with CMOS technology being the sound…

MAX IV Laboratory, a part of Lund University, has operated successfully for more than 25 years and is currently building the new MAX IV synchrotron facility in Lund.More than 900 scientists from Sweden and the rest of the world are coming to the MAX IV Laboratory every year to use the x-rays produced by our electron accelerators. They do research in areas such as materials science, structural biology, chemistry, and nanotechnology. 160 people are currently employed at the MAX IV…

Welcome - about us

Welcome! Nanopaprika was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry PhD student in 2007. The main idea was to create something more personal than the other nano networks already on the Internet. Community is open to everyone from post-doctorial researchers and professors to students everywhere.

There is only one important assumption: you have to be interested in nano!

Nanopaprika is always looking for new partners, if you have any idea, contact me at editor@nanopaprika.eu
